The fluxgate sensor detects the ambient field in the following way. The sensor head consists of a pair of coils, a driver, and a sensor wrapped on a core of high-permeability material. An alternating current in the driver coil is used to force the core to saturation with alternating polarity. The sensor coil records the rate of change of flux that passes through the windings. 3, record 1, English, - fluxgate%20sensor
